I like the fact that over Ian Holloway's shoulder is simply the word 'Wonga'.
***georgie thompson over natalie sawyer any time.
No --I can't watch the stream - any word on timings for announcement?
Bloody hell!This seems to have set off a chain reaction among frustrated managers.
i hope he doesntI reckon he will bottle it ala Gerrard.
No, you're missing my point which was that one way or another, this situation should not have been allowed to happen two months into a new season.Missing the point. They had meetings prior to World Cup, but obviously that got in the way and they resumed talks after Wayne got back, when he dropped the bombshell. Influenced by other England player perhaps? Anyway. Fergie and Gill obviously hoped it was going to pass when Wayne was feeling better about things, then all his private life stuff came out and everything else. Roomey and his agent have engineered this at a time which puts pressure on the club to sell in January. Perhaps using the slightly slow start (still unbeaten) to the season as an excuse.
The club started the negotiations early enough, but at some time between May and August Rooney has been influenced in some way, or has made a completely retarded decision all by himself. Either way his image has hit an all time low. Perhaps that's why they did it now, it couldn't get any worse
agreed. Things will never be the same again after what happened in the last couple of days....i hope he doesnt
Too late now I'm afraid. Burning bridges is what he's making a habit of doing, and this one burnt a while agoi hope he doesnt
you should try an e-shag first...They're showing the full interview with Holloway again at 5:30, SSN
Someone change my fecking username, I'm close to comitting e-suicide
SSN should go right around all the managers and the one who doesn't passionately condemn the situation is the guilty man.This seems to have set off a chain reaction among frustrated managers.
He's obviously very passionate about this, I guess from our perspective we don't see the half of how frustrating agents and modern millionaire players must be to handle.Bloody hell!
Someone tell Holloway that Rooney's done that to Utd and not Blackpool
That is one of the best football interviews I've ever seen
Like his 10 minute feck with the escorts....it's too late. It's about making the right choices and he chose wrongly. He has to take resposibility for his actionsHe's obviously very passionate about this, I guess from our perspective we don't see the half of how frustrating agents and modern millionaire players must be to handle.
Rooney has alienated himself from all real people in football, only the mercenaries will want anything to do with him now.
I reckon he regrets this already.
what on earth did he expect the reaction to be?Like his 10 minute feck with the escorts....it's too late. It's about making the right choices and he chose wrongly. He has to take resposibility for his actions
Surely, and as much as I'd like to, we can't play him in the reserves. As he'd get pissed and invoke the webster ruling? If we pissed him off, he's going and wouldn't hesitate to do something like that.The reason for the "delay" has to be lawyers -- he is gone -- question is can United control to where -- Rudd, Ronaldo etc all went abroad -- so who cares but if he does want to go to City??? that is different!
So you can go abroad in January Wayne otherwise you play with the reserves for a year!! Grin
Here, we see that Rooney, at age 24, now considers himself bigger than Manchester United. Bigger than the manager who started as a manager at Old Trafford when Rooney was 1 year old. Manchester United is no longer 'matching Rooney`s ambitions`. What ambitions, Wayne, are they (beyond that of deciding and judging Man Utd`s transfer policy)? What a breathtaking delusion and arrogance.
The thing is, Wayne, you might have not fully understood where you fit in United`s current malaise, and have excused yourself from helping the club that has given so much to you. If Man Utd are slumping in the League, conceding sloppy goals, it is, to a large extent because of you. You have brought the circus to United, against the desires of Siralex. Ferguson had to sit you out of the Everton game to protect you. He was prepared to do that. He then may or may not have invented an ankle injury so as not to play you against Valencia. Whatever his reasons for having done that, your boss was prepared to put his team (and your team-mates) at risk for YOUR benefit. United have been dragging around a zombie, it turns out since the middle of August, once the season had started. Even when fit, you have been playing as if you were wading through soup. Still, your club has been prepared to play you. That`s how important you were to United, and how strongly Ferguson feels about you.
And now that the club is having a difficulty, this is how you repay them? A truly loyal player would think how he can help that club. A truly talented player would consider how he could lift up the team. A truly gifted individual would see how his talents can help the team, rather than blaming the fact that the club is not bringing in the 'world class talent`. And a person with a modicum of intelligence could understand that it is, in fact, Wayne Rooney who is the cause of much of the club`s malaise rather than citing external circumstances.
Wayne Rooney should consider what responsibility he has to shape Manchester United`s future. Instead of that, through his megalomaniac actions, he`s as culpable as the Glazers in fostering the club`s decline.
Interesting...I particularly liked this.
Very apt and certainly what most of us are thinking..Here, we see that Rooney, at age 24, now considers himself bigger than Manchester United. Bigger than the manager who started as a manager at Old Trafford when Rooney was 1 year old. Manchester United is no longer 'matching Rooney`s ambitions`. What ambitions, Wayne, are they (beyond that of deciding and judging Man Utd`s transfer policy)? What a breathtaking delusion and arrogance.
a) Idiot? yeswhat on earth did he expect the reaction to be?
he's either an idiot, has an idiot of a manager, or has severely underestimated Fergie ( and us )
Missed it. What did he do/say?Fair dues to Keano today.
That no player would regret joining United, and united will still attract top players.Missed it. What did he do/say?
